Muffler delete test pipe: Just ear ringlingly loud (to me). Nothing wrong with it, but I could only handle it for like 3 weeks.
The SP Elite actually sounds pretty good to me.
I'm 31, so I can't go around with a loud or droning exhaust - the SP makes the car sound great (to my ears) without being excessive.
Paired with the Injen intake (more for acoustic enjoyment than power), and there's a throaty roar as low as 2,500rpm if I floor it.

Too bad you didn't get to try it on for size... On the plus side, I'm sure there will be a steady supply of used SP Elites (people might opt for a full catback)

Which reminds me: Not long after I paid for my SP Elite from a shop in town, a vendor on here actually gave me a chance to buy the same exhaust for about $100 less. Don't regret the exhaust, but the penny pincher in me regrets paying so soon - just a couple days was the difference.
